This year’s CHEST Annual Meeting will push the envelope of fun through various educational games and experiences for those attending on-site and online.
CHEST is supercharging the escape room experience with the expansion of two unique on-site escape scenarios to solve, First Contact and Shuttle Crash. In escape rooms, small teams work against the clock to solve a medical puzzle and unlock the final challenges. Those attending online can take a break and join the excitement with First Contact, a mission to Jupiter led by our space lieutenant, William Kelly, MD, FCCP, and faculty and staff game fleet. To build off the futuristic hands-on experiences, CHEST will be debuting intubation procedural simulations using state-of-the-art virtual reality technology.
If you prefer to join the fun using your mobile device, CHEST is releasing daily task-based missions that you can track and complete using your phone. These missions will include a variety of social activities designed around the conference halls, hotels, clinic, and your own home that are sure to get you moving and working as a team.
During the 4 days of the annual meeting, CHEST will also host an exclusive event called “Play With the Pros.” You can test your knowledge and play alongside annual meeting cochairs, Chris Carroll, MD, FCCP, and David Zielinski, MD, FCCP, for the chance to win a grand prize. As an added bonus, CHEST is offering daily prize drawings for players and social media recognition to those who top the leaderboards in the CHEST Player Hub. The Player Hub hosts more than 10 bite-sized mobile games and is available on demand with your CHEST ID.
Additionally, live game breaks hosted by our faculty between education sessions will give you the chance to unwind and play in real time with your peers and colleagues. On-site, CHEST invites you to shoot hoops, drive remote-controlled cars, and shuffle across the gameboard floors. From your couch or desk, you can tune in to test your knowledge in our livestreamed trivia or sign up for the chance to receive a trivia question phone call from our faculty, which is tied to a grand prize.
The opportunities to play and learn during CHEST Games are endless at CHEST 2021!
